Fall Family Times

Fall Family Times

So a quick update about life in general for you guys!  Everything is going well.  All the kids are awesome!

Jaren has recently gotten some glasses and he looks so sharp!  He looks so smart with them on!  Well, we all know he is smart, but the glasses really suit him well.  He’s still playing soccer as well.

Rhonin is having fun at Merryhill soon.  And every day he shows me a little bit more of his Big Boy side.  He will say the cutest things, too!  I’m a real proud Mama.

Rennie now has a couple teeth and is sitting very well on her own.  She’s such a happy little girl!  Solid foods are a breeze, and she’s even on finger foods now.  She’s a big fan of Kix!

Merrick has a bunch of teeth now, loves sitting up, and enjoys his finger foods, too!  He has even learned how to pull himself up to a standing position!  I had to lower his crib mattress because of this!  Such a happy little guy!

Sonoma State is going well.  I am extremely busy, but it’ll be worth it in the end.  I have been offered an internship position at The Buck Institute for Research on Aging, and I’m really excited about it!  I believe I will be working on the Mouse Project, where they are conducting research on Type II Diabetes and Parkinson’s Disease.  I’m hoping to stick with this internship for a while, as this is right up my alley!  I’m going to be conducting PCRs and Western Blots on the mice.  So excited!!

Halloween is rapidly approaching, and the twins have their costumes already.  Rennie will be a kitten and Merrick will be a puppy!  They will be darling!  I’m not sure what the older boys have decided on, but I’m sure they will be adorable as well.  Maybe Spiderman or Batman this year?

After Halloween, the twin’s first birthday will soon be here.  It lands on Thanksgiving this year.  I’m hoping to have a little celebration for them, so I’ll keep you all posted for that, too!

Til next time!
